To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Fnimols J. PLYM. a citizen of the United States,residing at Niles, in the State of l\lichigan, have in vented a certainnew and useful Improvement in dumb-Coverings, of which the following isa specification.

It is an object of my invention to provide a janib covering particularlyadapted for use in covering side janibs for store fronts, windows, andthe like which can be readily secured in place without any fasteningmeans being exposed. The above and other features of novelty,advantages, and capabilities will become apparent from a detaileddescription of the accompanying drawings in which I have illustrated apractical embodiment of the invention; but the description there shownis to be understood as illustrative only.

Figure 1 shows a device embodying my in vention having it applied to aside jamb and the means for securing it in place.

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the same showing it secured inplace.

Fig. 3 is a detailed perspective view of one of the clips used for secuing the inner edge of the jainb covering in place.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the wooden side anib 10 has securedto one edge thereof a plurality of clips 11, the number depending uponthe height of the window. In actual practice they are spaced in about 18inch centers, in which clips the inner edge of the jainb covering 12 isreceived while the opposite edge of the jamb covering is secured to theside jamb by means of screws or nails as shown in Fig. lhe setting forthe glass is then placed in position on top of the outer edge of theside jamb covering and is of suficient width to cover over the screws ornails used in securing the side jamb in place. From this it will be seenthe side janib covering is quickly and readily secured in place withoutany fastening Specification of Letters Patent.

This feature is desirable not only for appearance but iteliminates any possibility of the fastening device becoming rusted bythe water and also prevents any possibility of water finding itsway-into the sill around the screw openings which would be the case ifthey were eX- posed. .lhe inner edge of the jamb covering is bent toform a molding with its free end bent outwardly then inwardly in orderto cooperate with the clips 11.

I claim:
